Fighting the Financing of Terrorism
Hamas’ attack on Israel in October 2023 brought renewed attention to a global threat that moves in and out of the spotlight but never disappears. Money is the lifeblood of all criminal enterprises; thus, the global financial system is on the front line of the fight against terrorism.
You will learn how to:
- Recognize how Hamas and other terrorist groups attempt to use digital assets, both successfully and unsuccessfully
- Assess emerging risks posed by decentralized finance and how the crypto industry is addressing them
- Create an effective organizational framework to address unanticipated developments and new typologies
- Understand red flags, including the potential use of NPOs and NGOs, in the movement of money and goods to terrorist organizations
